I want to send out an email to everyone in this list to tell them the Phrontisterion Online blog has been rebooted. There’s somewhere between 30-40 email address so I probably could have cut and pasted each one into a text file but why go the brute force route when when it might possible to automate it. I’ve been thinking about learning Python for a side project so I thought I’d try to use it to parse the file’s contents.

It took me about 15-20 minutes to do this (less time than it took me to write this post). Of course Google was invaluable (what did developers ever do before the internet?). Here are some of the pages I used.
